Chapter 1,114 The Man Who Stirred up Trouble in the Alliance!

As the time drew closer and closer to July 1st, and the whole world was looking forward to the decisions of the two super giants James and Yao Ming, no one expected that Anthony would suddenly jump out.

Since James made that bad start, the trust between the league's teams and players can be said to have dropped to a freezing point.

As long as a star player reaches a contract extension agreement with the team before there is one year left on the contract, NBA teams will not dare to persuade them to stay, otherwise they will be in vain.

It can be said that James left the Cavaliers for the Heat, ushering in a new era of star players forcing teams to trade.

Although Anthony's contract with the Nuggets still has two years left, Anthony can get out of the contract at this time next year.

What this means is very, very obvious.

Anthony is leaving.

And Anthony is also a straightforward person, and he spoke frankly after meeting with the Nuggets management.

"I want to go to a big city, Seattle, Los Angeles, New York."

And Anthony is not only honest with the Nuggets management, he is also quite honest with the media.

If he is not honest, there is no way to threaten the Nuggets and send him to a small team in a small city to retaliate.

This is a unique skill left by James. Which player in the NBA now is not good at it?

After Anthony named these three cities in the media, the meaning was already obvious.

Teams in other cities want to trade me, and I won’t stop you. Just follow me. I’m just a super giant with only one year left on his contract. But if you want to trade me, you have to waste a lot of chips. What you paid These chips can only get me for one year.

Who can bear this?

If you really want to use Anthony for one year, forget it and use this year to compete for the championship. But which team competing for the championship does not have a complete lineup? How could he use his own strength to exchange for Anthony's one-year usage rights?

It can be said that as one of the three small forwards in the league, Anthony is the player that all teams in the league desire.

But after Anthony's was put on the shelves, no one bid for it for a while.

It's not because Anthony's value is too low and his status is too high, like Rondo's. It's because Anthony's value is too high, but the contract is short. If you want it, you don't dare to ask for it and you're afraid of not being able to afford it.

Among the three big forwards today, Durant has the highest historical status. After winning the Finals MVP and regular season MVP this year, last year his historical status was only in the top 40 of ESPN. Now he has reached the top 20 in history. .

In terms of pure historical status, he is now considered one of the top three small forwards in history.

However, although Durant is the small forward with the highest status and most honors, the competition for the strongest small forward in the league has always been between James and Anthony.

The two have also been inseparable in the past four seasons. Anthony has won the first team twice in the past four years, James once, and Durant once. In addition, James' disadvantage against Durant in this year's finals, as well as this year's regular season and Anthony's strength against Durant in past playoffs has led many people to believe that Anthony is the strongest small forward in the NBA.

As the strongest small forward in the league, he is so versatile offensively and suitable for the current style of play. Even his previous defensive weaknesses are no longer weaknesses. Who wouldn't want a player like this?

Even the Lakers, who have been preparing chips for Chris Paul recently, stopped chasing Chris Paul and turned to Anthony.

There is no way, Chris Paul is a superstar, very strong, a strong quadruple-double player, but no matter from the perspective of strength or the needs of the team, Anthony is the best candidate for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Of course, except for the Seattle SuperSonics with Durant, it can be said that Anthony is the best candidate for any team.

Even the Seattle SuperSonics, Seattle head coach Nelson and general manager Presti were shocked after being named by Anthony.

In fact, the chips that the Lakers and New York Clippers need to prepare to trade Anthony are different.

The Seattle SuperSonics are naturally the trading chip that the Nuggets need.

"Durant and a garbage contract are exchanged for Anthony + this year's Nuggets first-round pick, Milicic + James Harden + Ibaka or Millsap + James Harden + Gasol, this is what the Denver Nuggets give The offer that comes, as long as we accept it, Anthony will be our player tomorrow."

In the Seattle SuperSonics conference room, as the team's general manager, Presti was very excited.

This is the first time that Yeez has seen Presti so excited in all his years with the team.

Not only Presti, but also Old Nelson next to him.

It can only be said that Anthony's reputation in recent years is indeed frighteningly high.

The man who beat Durant for 80 points in the regular season!

He scored 70 points against the Leafs in the playoffs!

A ruthless man who single-handedly fought the Los Angeles Lakers for seven games in the playoffs!

Who can not be tempted by such a player?

What's more, the Nuggets' trade offer is actually not very harsh in Presti's opinion.

Durant will definitely not be released by the SuperSonics. Not only Yez likes Durant, Presti and Nelson also like Durant.

Regardless of whether Durant is available or not, the Nuggets are willing to trade Anthony and draft picks for Durant. This is a very sincere offer. If it is just a test, there is no need to add draft picks themselves. Durant's current status Although it is extremely high, most of his current reputation in the league thinks that he is the second small forward, and the first small forward is Anthony.

The Nuggets wanted Durant, but were afraid that the Sonics wouldn't agree, so they were willing to add draft picks.

At the same time, in order to facilitate this deal, the Nuggets also gave the SuperSonics an option.

Durant is already a super giant, and he is a loyal super giant. He has the best character and has broken a leg for the team. Such a super giant is different from a super giant like James. The Nuggets respect him. , the Nuggets did not believe that the Sonics would be disrespectful, so the Nuggets just showed their sincerity and did not have much hope.

The Nuggets want to promote the latter two, Milicic + James Harden + Ibaka and Millsap + James Harden + Gasol.

All five players involved in these two transactions are not for sale in the minds of Presti and Nelson.

This year's finals have been very obvious. In terms of importance, Milicic is the most important, followed by Gasol and Millsap, James Harden again, and Ibaka last.

Even the most important Milicic is not the most unobtainable player in this year's finals.

If Milicic leaves, he can be replaced by Gasol.

If Millsap leaves, Ibaka can be his replacement.

The Sonics' hard power won't be damaged at all.

The key is that Anthony can not only play small forward, but also power forward.

So Anthony is here, and Millsap would not have been in the starting lineup.

Therefore, the Nuggets' offer of Millsap + James Harden + Gasol is simply tailor-made for Presti.

This trading plan is extremely attractive to Presti and Nelson.

As for James Harden in this transaction, a super sixth man is indeed very rare.

But I already have Anthony, and I want a super sixth man with the Hammers!

What's more, Danny Green's performance in this season's finals defeated James Harden. Even if James Harden can control the ball, won't Matthews, Ty Lawson, and Sessions be able to control the ball?

More importantly, Yeas has always known that Presti doesn't like James Harden very much. Not only does Presti not like James Harden very much, but Nelson actually doesn't like James Harden that much either.

James Harden usually does too much.

During the finals last year, I was obsessed with a young lady in Miami and went undercover.

Although there was no Miss Addict in this year's finals, except for the last game, the first three games were also overshadowed by Danny Green.

The most important thing is that whenever I see news about him during the offseason, he is looking for a girl and playing with a girl.

In Presti's view, the fact that James Harden can be forcibly brought to such a height by Yes is already well worth the price of admission.

Using him to trade Anthony can be regarded as maximizing benefits.

In the future, if you want to trade a top superstar like Anthony, players like James Harden and Millsap will not be able to be the main transaction chips.

Therefore, the two All-Stars Millsap + James Harden plus Gasol for Anthony, perfect!

Presti is excited and Nelson is looking forward to it.

But Yees is the final decision-maker on the team's major decisions.

They respect Yes's opinions, and Yes needs to respect their opinions.

Their opinion is now clear.

This is a super good opportunity, Millsap + James Harden + Gasol, you would be an idiot not to vote for this!

"If Anthony can be traded, I have no objection, but KD and James cannot be traded. This is my bottom line."

Ye Si could see what the two were thinking, and he also had expectations for Anthony, but Durant and James Harden couldn't come out no matter what.

Needless to say about Durant, James Harden has not reached his limit yet, which is such a loss.

But other Sonics players the Nuggets want have already reached their highest value.

Although he is reluctant to part with it, he also needs to consider the opinions of Nelson and Presti, and Anthony is indeed very good.

Ye Si's attitude was very resolute. Presti and Nelson looked at each other and finally had no choice.

Therefore, after the meeting of the Big Three, Presti quickly responded to the Nuggets.

Millsap + Rondo + Gasol.

Since the Leafs are unwilling to play James Harden, let's replace him with Rondo.

What made Presti embarrassed was that when he sent the trade request, the Nuggets responded with one word almost instantly.

!

Translation is...

SB!

Seeing the big words on the fax, Presti's face turned red.

Although he is not very good at making deals, and although the whole world now thinks he is an idiot, this is the first time that someone has directly humiliated him in this way.

And Presti even felt that the Nuggets seemed to be right about his offer...

"I shouldn't directly regard Rajon as a bargaining chip. Rajon is worth a No. 5 pick to the Spurs. The No. 5 pick is worth about the same as James Harden. In my opinion, there is no problem with this transaction. But for the Nuggets, Rondo may not even be worth a lottery pick, let alone James Harden or the fifth pick..."

"I was still too impatient and was confused by Anthony's big deal. I should have turned this deal into a three-way deal."

As a trading genius, Presti finally has some understanding.

After being mercilessly humiliated by the Nuggets, he was not angry. After communicating with the Nuggets management, he discovered that the Nuggets did not want James Harden, but that they had to replace them with two All-Stars, otherwise the Nuggets would not be able to swallow this. tone.

Replacing one top super giant with two ordinary mid-level or even low-level All-Stars is already very sincere.

If it weren't for the fact that James Harden still has room for development and is still young, the Nuggets wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

James Harden doesn't have to give it, but he has to exchange it for something of equal value.

The Nuggets are easy to talk to, but the request is not easy.

James Harden is an All-Star who still has a future and can still grow. Although Presti does not believe that James Harden still has a future, because he understands James Harden, but the Nuggets do not understand. What chips do you need to trade for a 21-year-old All-Star?

Therefore, among the trading chips provided by the Nuggets, the main trading chip for the Seattle SuperSonics is James Harden, not Milicic and Millsap.

Since the Nuggets are so optimistic about James Harden, Presti is willing to give it directly, but the thought of Ye Si having to keep James Harden gives him a headache.

However, in order to get Anthony, Presti quickly came up with a plan.

The Seattle SuperSonics traded Millsap + the No. 4 pick the Spurs acquired from the Hornets + Gasol + the Sonics' No. 30 pick in this year's first round in exchange for Anthony.

After this trade plan was sent out, Presti finally stopped being scolded by the Nuggets.

But he didn't agree immediately.

It's to be determined. Obviously, this trading chip is not that attractive to the Nuggets, but the Nuggets think it's okay, and they also have to look at the opinions of the Lakers, Clippers and New York.

However, in this transaction, although Anthony has not yet been acquired, under the threat of Presti, Rondo's trade value was forced from the fifth pick to the fourth pick, and the Spurs' bottom line was also forced out.

The reason why the Spurs traded the No. 4 pick from the Hornets was to provide Rondo with helpers.

Now Presti is in a hurry and can only use the fifth pick to select a helper for Rondo.

The trade for Anthony fell into waiting.

This is something that can't be helped. If such a player is not the opponent's favorite plan, he needs to wait.

However, this does not matter, because whether it is the SuperSonics or the Clippers, the trade for Anthony will involve draft picks, so this deal will definitely come to light at the end of the NBA Draft.

In fact, it's not just the Anthony deal, Chris Paul, Westbrook, Deron Williams, etc., almost all big deals this year will involve this year's draft picks, and they will all be revealed in this year's draft.

On June 24, 2010, perhaps the most exciting draft in NBA history arrived.

David Stern's pressure is now extremely high. He can no longer see the situation clearly. Even if he turns on God's perspective, he can't see clearly. It's too confusing!
